Sukuk are Islamic Sharia-compliant securities issued by companies or governments to raise money from investors for a specific period of time with a specific payment date. During this period, the sukuk usually distributes a fixed or variable profit rate periodically. At the end of the sukuk term, which is known as the maturity date, the sukuk issuer pays the principal (the value of the sukuk) collected from the investors.
These amounts will be used by the issuer to refinance its existing debt, and for general corporate purposes.

In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the Sukuk to retail investors. There are risks inherent in the holding of the Sukuk, including the risks in relation to their subordination and the circumstances in which holders of the Sukuk may suffer loss as a result of holding the Sukuk.
